Nope, Mac floppy drives are Mac floppy drives. Fortunately the auto-inject 1.44M drives are quite plentiful. Have you tried cleaning and lubing it? The plastic dust "protector" (more like a dust trapper) slides off then the drive cover can be removed so you can evict the dust bunnies and apply small amounts of lithium grease to the obvious places where metal slides on metal. ===== "When you are wrestling for possession of a sword, the man with the handle always wins."
